Rubio and Paul battle over military spending


MILWAUKEE — Sharp exchange part two in Tuesday’s GOP debate: the fight between Sens. Marco Rubio and Rand Paul on military spending.
Rubio says it’s important, saying the country won’t be safe unless the military is strong.
“Marco, Marco, how is it conservative to add a trillion dollar expenditure to the federal government?” Paul said. “Can you be a conservative and liberal on military spending?”
Rubio, for his part, called Paul a “dedicated isolationist.”

Rand was shining today and won the debate.

Rafeal Ted Cruz (****** self censoring) showed his true colors again today siding with neocon pup rubio against Rand Paul. These fakebag "conservatives" will lose in the end.

“You can be strong without being involved in every civil war around the world,” Paul said.
